Fast. Affordable computer.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The graphics are great. The speed difference from 1.2 is very noticeable. I love everything about this computer except when I am downloading sometimes I do have to delete and download again because it stop downloading. I liked this computer so much I got my bf one the next month.

Great Laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is for my daughter who will be off to college next year. She needed a mac type computer to be able to complete lots of assignments etc and with all I read and all the sales people at Best Buy talked about this fit the bill. She is already using it and loves it!

Great Computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with this computer. It is my first laptop and I could not be more pleased. The display is bright and crisp, it has an Ethernet port in case I need it, and also a CD/DVD drive. Battery life is good too. I would purchase this computer again.

Great PC for what we needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced our old desktop PC with this lap top and it has performed flawlessly. It's taken us some time to get used to Windows 10, but for the most part is pretty much intuitive. Great selling point for me was the CD/DVD drive available with the PC.

Great Laptop for Home Use
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After much research, I decided to buy a new HP to replace one purchased in 2009. I am very happy with it so far and offer the following impressions to prospective buyers: PROS: Great features and value for PC under $500. I love Geek Squad and they were very helpful in clearing junk programs, loading Outlook and Office 2010, as well as my email history and other stuff I wanted transferred from the old HP. With Best Buy and Geek Squad it is very painless to make purchase and set up a new laptop. Great buying and setup experience! This is a very fast PC. Geek squad advised me to turn off and unplug the machine when not in use to extend service life of the laptop and battery. I was concerned about the laptop taking a lot of time booting up and updating at startup. I experience immediate access to programs on startup. Runs very cool compared to my vintage HP. Nice large screen, but comes at a price, (see cons). Does not seem cheap looking like a few others have mentioned here. CONS: The mouse pad is quirky. I wish it had separate mouse buttons. It is too easy to change the zoom level from the keypad. I wish it had a setting to freeze the zoom level without accidentally changing it with the mouse pad. It has already happened three times as I write this. This could be more Windows 10 related than hardware related. The single surface mouse pad amplifies this problem. It is a very large laptop. The size is perfect for me because I rarely take my laptop with me on trips. When I travel, I prefer using my tablet. It took some searching to find a case that would fit it. Consider a model with a screen closer to 15" for school or if you plan to frequently take it with you on trips. All in All, I am very satisfied with this laptop.

Great Laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is great for going back to school because of the memory space. I still plan on using external memory for papers but overall this computer is great. I love the fact that it has a disc drive as well as a 1tb hard drive, which most pcs don't.

Must be experienced user to understand functions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best to have GEEK set up computer so you can personalize the programs by selecting what you use the most. Easy to eliminate unwanted programs once you go through set up.

The mouse pad doesn't work well at all.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband bought me this computer for XMas. I don't like the mouse pad. The longer you use the computer the less the mouse works .I brought it into the Geek squad and was told nothing was wrong with it. I cannot play a game with it because I have to keep moving the mouse or keep hitting the mouse pad several times. The time runs out and the game is over. This is a HP computer. I would like a response. TY

Decent computer for a kid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is good but the Windows 10 operating system is slow. This operating system is harder for seniors also. Spend the money for a better operating system.

You get what you pay for.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, it's a decent laptop. The problem? It's ridiculously sensitive to any weight you may put on it from the palms of your hands while you're typing. It is CONSTANTLY changing the page zoom size on me.

Excellent for college student
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My college student daughter loves the laptop I got her. She can open two windows at one time. Her grades this semester were 98s and 99s ! She feels the laptop is not too heavy to carry to her workplace.
